I especially like the numerals. However, if I were to use this in my own publications, I would need a heavier variant - that being said, the design itself is excellent.

Thank you!

Glad you like the numerals, and BTW, open style 4 and 1 with diagonal terminal (as commonly seen in time signatures) will be the style used for at least the semibold and bold weights. I have considered using them for all weights, but they are a lot less legible than their counterparts at small sizes when strokes get on the thinner side.

I'm curious how heavy you would need the font to be to be able to use it. After all, the regular weight shown here is heavier than the outlined version of Hercules Text used in liuscorne's example above. I was planning on including three weights: Regular, Semibold and Bold, but a Medium weight might be in order as well.

I can't give you any sort of objective weight specification, just my subjective eye - but if this is the Regular weight, than I think a Medium weight would be perfect. My engraving is often much heavier than the example you linked, and I feel a heavier font would be needed to balance it out.

Tenso comes quite close in appearance to the original Peters scores. Since the original is basically a sans serif version of the Scotch Roman font style, the little "hooks" (see for example /t and /r) are part of the design. However, Knut's version (Univers condensed?) works well too.

Exactly right! Impressive. I love Univers condensed and have used it a lot for engraving purposes. I agree, though that Tenso is closer to the original.

I've never noticed how the original font is so closely related to the Scotch serif style. It makes an excellent starting point for a sans serif version of my own font. Maybe some day ...
